This. The AI people are vile.
A short thread from Blake C. Stacey.

Releasing so many results simultaneously is spamming the mathematical community into acceptance.

Like, that's just fundamentally a hostile act.

For whatever future we've got, the history of mathematics will be scarred by fashtech cocaine.

Trump is telling people that these machines are conscious. He keeps saying that their intelligence isn't artificial, it's real, it's better than ours. He's saying the Rationalist AI god is here. It's a lie.

We don’t need a party of anti-abortion cranks who don’t understand how anything works. The Republican Party needs to actually take popular positions and police its ranks for perverts and lunatics rather than just lying extravagantly and relying on right-wing media to fill in the blanks.

The deplorables start cheering when Trump says let 'em take out a city, because hatred of cities is a core MAGA belief. Trump knows he's got an applause line and out throws the names of cities in California. They go nuts.

Lafayette Square isn't "a historic protest site." It's a fucking park. And it's packed on nice days. Calling it a protest site is White House framing. They're closing a popular public park to create a presidential palace Saddam Hussein would love.
